The exact loss Of life by the railway disaster
at Chatsworth, H., is still in doubt 1t is
probable that the number of killed and fatally
injured will reach one hundred. More than
that number were seriously hurt and many
more sustained slight injuries Several of the
dead are still unidentified All of the wounded
who were able to travel have been re-
moved from Chatsworth, Piper City, and
Forest to Peoria or TO their homes. The
bodies Of tho killed were also taken
to Peoria, and such as had not been
claimed by relatives were inferred by
the company in that city. The Coroner began
an inquest on Friday. Tho State Board of
Railway Commissioners Also began an inves-
tiSation. The theory that the bridge was fired
by incendarios for the purpose of wrecking
the traiR and robbing the passengers has i'm
pressed the minds of the railway officials very
strongly. A Chatsworth special Of Saturday
